Another shameless attempt to get us to vote with our penus. :) But really, nice shot, the sepia fits well. Like the compostition and atmosphere of the photo. Lastly, she's preetty hot.

A simple yet complex photo with great expression, that is certainly inquisitve in nature. Nice lighting and tonalities, slightly over pocessed and/or pixelized under chin. Overall very nice.

Hey, your picture; you call and make the shots. Somehow, though, i can't believe that this pose and model would be boring in nude. Just a little puzzled, that's all. Besides, most people might like this version just the way it is. I'm merely the opinion of one :)

Comment by grigrigirl:
I agree and actually reshot this completely nude...but the results were pretty boring. Somehow I decided i liked the busy straps in this shot. "baby got back" is in reference to the rap music and culture...and because she does have "back" ;)

Like the lighting of this picture. Like the pose of the hands and arms. I'm honestly not a good judge to evaluate this picture: I don't quite understand the title (am i very nerdy?). I also tend to prefer nude over sexy clothing with holes and so on. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just that i personally don't care too much for it. The picture also reads as a little busy, might have been better without a few of the straps hanging there. Might have liked this a lot better if it were nude, since i do like the pose and composition. Just my personal taste, mind you.

Really nice portrait and deviating nicely from the usual serious poses one tends to associate with portraits. Love the composition and the wonderful mood created here. Good job on the lighting, too. Nice how your mood and smile mirrors that of the sculpture. Find this picture very classy and original. Again, i have the sense that this picture captures the real you very well. That sculpture you have is great and a fantastic prop!
That's really the pits about these challenges. Perhaps as Magazine Cover it isn't the most suitable submission but as for self-portraits it should have garnered top 5. It's one of the reasons that i prefer lately to spend my time viewing/commenting on people's portfolios rather than on challenge submissions.
From what i'm seeing, you'll be able to pull a lot more good stuff out of the Minolta but you are also definitely worthy of better gear.

I really like the style of the photograph. It looks almost vintage, and that really sets it apart.
